Coming up in the late-2000s noise scene of Montreal, electronic noise producer Airick Woodhead began his solo project Doldrums in 2010. Melding different aspects of electronic sequencing and noisy sample-based sounds with hypnotic pop structures, Doldrums quickly emerged in a series of random tracks, 7″ singles, remixes, and even a VHS collection of videos.

Doldrums released their new full-length E s c on June 30th, 2017. Mixed by Matthew Otto (Majical Cloudz), E s c also features collaborations with Petra Glynt and Tobias Rochman of Peleda.
